Mixed Tapes
Eight albums of lyrics. Eight blackout poems. Mixed Tapes is an homage to the small-town artist, to the teenager inside all of us wanting more and taking it without realizing the consequences. Mixed Tapes is running through the empty parking lot at midnight, it is smoking behind the playground, it is slipping love songs in your pocket. Mixed Tapes hopes to find that teenager inside you. It hopes to soundtrack your heart home.
Kara Goughnour’s debut collection of poetry is small but powerful. With Mixed Tapes, she creates a whirlwind narrative of love and heartbreak, while simultaneously giving praise to those first words that caught her ear, those first words that made her pick up the pen.

superb work in this coming of age chapbook which engages with songs such as the Mountain Goats' All Hail West Texas and has a Darnielle-esque feel.
